Implementation and Performance Analysis of PBKDF2, Bcrypt, Scrypt Algorithms Levent Ertaul, Manpreet Kaur, Venkata Arun Kumar R Gudise CSU East Bay, Hayward, CA, USA. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract- With the increase in mobile wireless or data lookup. Whereas, Cryptographic hash functions are technologies, security breaches are also increasing. It has used for building blocks for HMACs which provides become critical to safeguard our sensitive information message authentication. They ensure integrity of the data from the wrongdoers. So, having strong password is that is transmitted. Collision free hash function is the one pivotal. As almost every website needs you to login and which can never have same hashes of different output. If a create a password, it’s tempting to use same password and b are inputs such that H (a) =H (b), and a ≠ b. for numerous websites like banks, shopping and social User chosen passwords shall not be used directly as networking websites. This way we are making our cryptographic keys as they have low entropy and information easily accessible to hackers. Hence, we need randomness properties [2].Password is the secret value from a strong application for password security and which the cryptographic key can be generated. Figure 1 management. In this paper, we are going to compare the shows the statics of increasing cybercrime every year. Hence performance of 3 key derivation algorithms, namely, there is a need for strong key generation algorithms which PBKDF2 (Password Based Key Derivation Function), can generate the keys which are nearly impossible for the Bcrypt and Scrypt. -

Password-based key derivation functions are designed specifically to derive cryptographic keys from low-entropy sources (such as passwords or passphrases) and to counter brute-force and dictionary attacks. However, the most widely adopted standard for password-based key derivation, PBKDF2, as implemented in most applications, is highly susceptible to attacks using Graphics Process- ing Units (GPUs). -

TRANSPORT LAYER SECURITY (TLS) Lokesh Phani Bodavula
TRANSPORT LAYER SECURITY (TLS) Lokesh Phani Bodavula October 2015 Abstract 1 Introduction The security of Electronic commerce is completely in the hands of Cryptogra- phy. Most of the transactions through e-commerce sites, auction sites, on-line banking, stock trading and many more are exchanged over the network. SSL or TLS are the additional layers that are required in order to obtain authen- tication, privacy and integrity for all kinds of communication going through network. This paper focuses on the additional layer (TLS) which is responsi- ble for the whole communication. Transport Layer Security is a protocol that is responsible for offering privacy between the communicating applications and their users on Internet. TLS is inserted between the application layer and the network layer-where the session layer is in the OSI model TLS, however, requires a reliable transport channel-typically TCP. 2 History Instead of the end-to-end argument and the S-HTTP proposal the developers at Netscape Communications introduced an interesting secured connection concept of low-layer and high-layer security. For achieving this type of security there em- ployed a new intermediate layer between the transport layer and the application layer which is called as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is the starting stage for the evolution of different transport layer security protocols. Technically SSL protocol is assigned to the transport layer because of its functionality is deeply inter-winded with the one of a transport layer protocol like TCP. Coming to history of Transport layer protocols as soon as the National Center for Super- computing Application (NCSA) released the first popular Web browser called Mosaic 1.0 in 1993, Netscape Communications started working on SSL protocol. -
An Efficient Watermarking and Key Generation Technique Using DWT Algorithm in Three- Dimensional Image
International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE) ISSN: 2277-3878, Volume-8 Issue-2, July 2019 An Efficient Watermarking and Key Generation Technique Using DWT Algorithm in Three- Dimensional Image R. Saikumar, D. Napoleon Abstract:Discrete Wavelet Transform is the algorithm which obtained by compressive sensing. It is a novel technology can be used to increase the contrast of an image for better visual used to compress the data at a higher rate than the quality of an image. The histogram value for original image with highest bins is taken for embedding the data into an image to conventional method. The compression and encryption are perform the histogram equalization for repeating the process achieved by a single linear measurement step through a simultaneously. Information can be embedded into the source measurement matrix, which can be generated by the secret image with some bit value, for recovering the original image key. This key can be shared only among the sender and the without any loss of the pixels. DWT is the first algorithm which has achieved the image contrast enhancement accurately. This receiver at the time of sending and receiving data as a approach maintained the original visual quality of an image even multimedia file. though themessage bits are embedded into the contrast-enhanced images.

The Summation-Truncation Hybrid: Reusing Discarded Bits for Free
The Summation-Truncation Hybrid: Reusing Discarded Bits for Free Aldo Gunsing and Bart Mennink Digital Security Group, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. A well-established PRP-to-PRF conversion design is trun- cation: one evaluates an n-bit pseudorandom permutation on a certain input, and truncates the result to a bits. The construction is known to achieve tight 2n−a=2 security. Truncation has gained popularity due to its appearance in the GCM-SIV key derivation function (ACM CCS 2015). This key derivation function makes four evaluations of AES, truncates the outputs to n=2 bits, and concatenates these to get a 2n-bit subkey. In this work, we demonstrate that truncation is wasteful. In more detail, we present the Summation-Truncation Hybrid (STH). At a high level, the construction consists of two parallel evaluations of truncation, where the truncated (n − a)-bit chunks are not discarded but rather summed together and appended to the output. We prove that STH achieves a similar security level as truncation, and thus that the n − a bits of extra output is rendered for free. In the application of GCM-SIV, the current key derivation can be used to output 3n bits of random material, or it can be reduced to three primitive evaluations. Both changes come with no security loss. Keywords: PRP-to-PRF, Truncation, Sum of permutations, Efficiency, GCM-SIV 1 Introduction The vast majority of symmetric cryptographic schemes is built upon a pseu- dorandom permutation, such as AES [21]. Such a function gets as input a key and bijectively transforms its input to an output such that the function is hard to distinguish from random if an attacker has no knowledge about the key. -
Data Encryption Standard (DES)
6 Data Encryption Standard (DES) Objectives In this chapter, we discuss the Data Encryption Standard (DES), the modern symmetric-key block cipher. The following are our main objectives for this chapter: + To review a short history of DES + To defi ne the basic structure of DES + To describe the details of building elements of DES + To describe the round keys generation process + To analyze DES he emphasis is on how DES uses a Feistel cipher to achieve confusion and diffusion of bits from the Tplaintext to the ciphertext. 6.1 INTRODUCTION The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a symmetric-key block cipher published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). 6.1.1 History In 1973, NIST published a request for proposals for a national symmetric-key cryptosystem. A proposal from IBM, a modifi cation of a project called Lucifer, was accepted as DES. DES was published in the Federal Register in March 1975 as a draft of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). After the publication, the draft was criticized severely for two reasons. First, critics questioned the small key length (only 56 bits), which could make the cipher vulnerable to brute-force attack. Second, critics were concerned about some hidden design behind the internal structure of DES. They were suspicious that some part of the structure (the S-boxes) may have some hidden trapdoor that would allow the National Security Agency (NSA) to decrypt the messages without the need for the key. Later IBM designers mentioned that the internal structure was designed to prevent differential cryptanalysis. -

Basic Security
Basic IT Security You are the number one reason your agency is safe “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and few minutes of cyber-incident to ruin it.” ― Stephane Nappo Global Chief Information Security Officer Société Générale International Banking “In the underworld, reality itself has elastic properties and is capable of being stretched into different definitions of the truth.” ― Roderick Vincent, The Cause Focus: Password Security The strongest door is meaningless if someone has the key to it. The focus of this session is specifically on Password Security, as the fundamental first step in protecting your agency. Do Not Share Your Password According to the Center for Internet Security Passwords are a major defense against hackers, and developing good password practices will help keep your sensitive personal information and identity more secure. Tips for Developing Better Passwords: • Passwords should have at least 10 characters, include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. • Avoid common words; some hackers use programs that try every word in the dictionary. • Never use personal information (your name, children's names, dates of birth, etc.) that someone might already know or easily obtain. • If you believe your system has been compromised, change your passwords immediately. • Use different passwords (or at least a variety of passwords) for each online account you access. • If you must write down your passwords, keep them in a secure location away from your computer. Under no circumstances should you store them in a document on your computer! Estimating Password- Cracking Times Common words Why do we want to avoid common words? Some hackers use programs that try every word in the dictionary.
